Update 2024.10.10: This blog has migrated to  https://retrotcgs.com/wotc-retro-pokemon/  . Please find my most up-to-date Prop 15/3 lists in the metagame page and my active lists page . Thanks! I maintain approximately sixteen Prop 15/3 decks, and this page is to share the current lists! I love trying new cards/decks, so expect new decks to come in bursts. My favorite way to play is the Pokemon 1999 Discord Webcam leagues; join the fun:  https://play.limitlesstcg.com/organizer/1141 !  Decks have been rated by my level of confidence in (1) their ability to win and (2) the card inclusions for ideal deck list: Maximum, High, Moderate, Low, Untested,   Rough Idea or as  Retired . Maximum Confidence : deck appears to have advantage against most decks; assume 0-3 cards from ideal list High Confidence : deck appears to have advantage against many decks; assume 1-6 cards from ideal list Moderate Confidence : deck appears to have at a chance against many decks; a...

Prop 15/3 (Base-Gym) - What Can Be Done About Chaos Gym?!

Update 2024.10.10:  This blog has migrated to  https://retrotcgs.com/wotc-retro-pokemon/  . Please find my most up-to-date Prop 15/3 lists in the  metagame page  and my  active lists page . Thanks! Let's Talk About the Writing on the (Gym) Wall - Coins Will Be Flipped. Flips a Coin, Flips a Coin, Flips a Coin- Chaos Gym is a mainstay in Prop 15/3. Between the Gym Heroes and Gym Challenge sets, fourteen Stadium cards are legal in Prop 15/3. Unfortunately, Chaos Gym stands out among its peers as uniquely disruptive.  As seen in Jason's Wigglytuff/Blaine's Rapidash deck's performance at Brew City Showdown , the deck and Chaos Gym are here to stay. And decks with a critical mass of Trainer-like Pokemon and/or a quick setup will continue to leverage the potential of this stadium.  Playing with Chaos Gym Decks with Chaos Gym get to control when and if it enters play. Generally, it's best to play the card with a full hand and a good position on the boar...

Prop 15/3 (Base-Gym) - Deck Profile - Haymaker (Variants with Evolutions)

Update 2024.10.10:  This blog has migrated to  https://retrotcgs.com/wotc-retro-pokemon/  . Please find my most up-to-date Prop 15/3 lists in the  metagame page  and my  active lists page . Thanks! (NOTE: More commentary on lists and gameplay to come in the future! Update 2024.09.28: added another Dodrio and Wigglytuff list.) A lot has been said about the original Pokemon Trading Card Game "best deck in format": Haymaker. Prop 15/3 finds variations of the classic Base Set (and later formats) archetype in a viable metagame position (with personal experience and top finishes in the Brew City Showdown 2024), as Wigglytuff and Dodrio pair extremely well with Big Basics in a Trainer-restricted format. The Haymaker approach has a high chance of playing a solid game and taking knock outs through the beginning turns of the game (even when it is missing access to the 15 Trainers that give the format its name). This deck profile will (initially) look at the differ...
